Have fun playing with yourselves Americans, it would have been nice if the rest of the world could have joined you :(

Alright boys, we can pack it up and go home now. Our work here is finished.

Congratulations on another fine job of doing everything in our power to annoy the crap out of as many [sneer]non-Americans[/sneer] as possible.

Except for those non-Americans that didn't buy the CDV version of course. But that doesn't matter right now it would seem.

Yuo will have to forgive Pheasant Plucker, the disappointment is bitter. And then of course the CDV players who have simply committed suicide has led to a dramatic reduction in CMAK players in Europe.

[Just wait until the grey market version turns up in North America]!!!!

Of course experienced players knew there would be no substitute for the 100% US product - and the money goes direct to the horse mouth .... mmm something wrong there.

CDV always sucks but then PP is a noobie[ish] - I posted warning..but does anyone listen.. I don't know grumble grumble

Pheasent Plucker,

While I certainly understand your frustration with the CDV version I must correct you on your statements.

First off, the game and code was thouroughly tested and the final code we sent to CDV worked in TCP/IP as intended. The Battlefront.com version does not have this issue, it occurs only on the CDV version.

The problem seems to be with the copy protection scheme that CDV have applied to the game after we sent them the code. It would appear that they are using a newer version of SafeDisc or have applied it in a new way and it is causing conflicts with the TCP protocol used by tbe game. What is most odd about this is that they used SafeDisc on both CMBO and CMBB in the past and it did not exhibit this same problem.

CDV is a large publishing company and once we send them final code they handle all of their own testing internally. For whatever reason they did not spot this error before they shipped. We do NOT see their final version of a game before it ships but other than the application of copy protection or other support files on the disc (CDV demo's etc..) the game code itself is unchanged from the gold version we send.

Since application of SafeDisc has, up until this point, never caused any direct conflict with a game before it is understandable how CDV could have missed the problem.

We are working with CDV to rectify this issue but since most of their support staff is away for the holidays it is taking more time than we had expected.

Both CDV and Battlefront understand that the customers of the European version want this issue fixed and fixed quickly and I assure you that we are working on getting that fix out to you as soon as we can.

Thank you!

Oh yeah, a small point. While from time to time some of the dedicated players of CM in it's many facades have had issues with the game, it's always been my understanding from my own experience that the fine fellows at Battle Front do THEIR BEST to facilitate the needs and rectify any problems customers do have. In short, I'll think you'll find a patch or replacement software provided as soon as the problem has been clearly identified and rectified. As I have, (Thanks to Matt and all the other fellows at Battle Front)...

Have fun playing with yourselves Americans, it would have been nice if the rest of the world could have joined you :(

P.S. I've always found you get a lot further in life with a gun and a smile than you do with just a gun...

PP: we americans love to play with ourselves. Why do you think Porn is a multi-billion dollar industry stateside.

All CDV issues aside, work continues on the pack. A few more preview shots for public consumption:

Honies off to the races in Richie's First Taste of Honey
